What a word huh? It runs in the family of Dyslexia. Ya, sounds more familiar huh? Well my oldest does not have ADD, nor dyslexia… he has dysgraphia. As it is… I’m tired, I have a field trip with 18 five year olds and not much else to say right now. More later when I get my life together.
I might need to look at more home insurance quotes if i keep letting my kids work in the yard. But isn’t he a cutie?
I love the hat and glasses! If that wasn’t enough, look at my oldest! Click to enlarge any of these.
The man with the truck is a friend of mine. He has a yard business and came over to cut some limbs and help get the yard cleaned up. The kids wanted to earn some extra money… win win situation. Of course being boys, they did want to pick up the little limbs… ohhhh noooo…
It was a great time by all this weekend. Just taking me a while to get all the photos and stuff together. I have such good kids. It makes me wonder how they can drive me over the edge so fast! 
Just wanted to brag… my oldest child who is in 2nd grade… is finally figuring out how to take online tests. I am very proud of my son… here is his Reading Counts scores!
This blog is about my family and I hope when we look back in 4 years, this one will all make us smile. Of course, it had to be Diary of a Wimpy Kid that got that best score! hahahahaha…
It seems my children do much better when I give them lots of hugs and constantly touch them. Particularly the older one. This is so out of my realm. I am NOT a touchy feely person. Yet I have seen a huge difference in the older one if I just walk over and touch his arm. This is NOT easy or fun for me. I have to force myself to do it. Even though the rewards have been great, I find myself excited that school is in session. Talk about going ‘outside the box’… I’m so far out with this that I RUN back when given the chance. Sigh. Makes me feel like I’m a bad mommy. I’m not. I have good kids and they are turning out better than any mother could hope. But I just don’t want to constantly touch and be touched. It’s going to a long 12 years…
Lots been going on, but mostly it has been me working on a yearbook for the kids’ school. Hence, not a lot on stuff to post out here. Though I have been looking at what my children eat. We are cutting back on the sweets (had way to much over the christmas break)… and I’m letting them have hamburgers for breakfast. I thought chicken nuggets with waffles smelled bad… making hamburgers at 5:45am is enough to make me want to barf. Ugh.
Hope everyone is staying warm and will try to get my brain into gear for the rest of the week!
Seems that the holiday season has struck our house… literally. The boys are striking one another. I had to set up some rules. Do something nice and you get a nice point. Point out that your brother did something nice and you both get nice points. Tattle on your brother (with no blood or marks involved) and you both get naughty points. Mom has to discipline you, you get two naughty points. At the end of the day, Santa gets called with an update.
Today we actually had more nice points than naughty points. But I was VERY lenient with them. Three more days seem VERY long … good thing I made that fudge yesterday.
The boys only have today and tomorrow and then it is Christmas Break. I am excited and terrified at the same time. They have very high energy right now. Constantly getting on each others nerves and MINE. He tackled me, he threatened to tell on me, he punched me, he took my toy, he won’t let me see it, he won’t give it back… you can see how much this is driving me nuts.
I am hoping to have lunch with them today since I haven’t in weeks… and because I won’t be around much for the Friday parties. I have to get my nose sucked out one last time. Ugh. I hope you are going to have a great day today and I hope that I am going to survive the holidays at home with two overly active boys. Wish me luck!
Mamaw is the greatest in the boys eyes right now… she got them reindeer that poop jelly bellies. Push them down to make them squat and out comes a jelly belly or two…
Got to lift that head to get them fed the jelly bellies of choice… The youngest just loved it…
They have been eating out of them for days now…

Nothing like having the whole family in the kitchen at once! The boys couldn’t resist finding stuff and giving it a shot. They found the colander I had just finished washing and tried it out…
It was better as a hat… I was trying to remember who he kept saying he looked like… it escapes me right now!
And older brother of course had to come and get involved! They are a great pair of kids!
